A father and daughter had to rush home and rescue their pet dog after a neighbour told them it was on the roof of their house.

Michaela Pickford and her dad Mark were having a quiet pint in their local pub last Sunday (September 3) when their next door neighbour burst in to tell them their dog, Cooper, had been spotted on the roof.

They rushed back to their house on Badminton Road in Downend to find Cooper looking down at them from two stories up.

Michaela, 20, said they had to put locks on all the doors as Cooper was very keen on exploring.

She said: “He’s a very nosy little Rottweiler. He’s always going where he’s not allowed, but normally he just gets into the fridge – he’s never been on the roof before."
